It connects Queen Elizabeth Park to the Akatarawa Forest Park. “Hills to Sea”

It is very accessible to the public from SH 1 at Mackays Crossing.

There are a variety of recreational opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, running, picnics and just “being” in bush, by streams, on open pasture and high up on the hills. There is already high usage since it was opened to the public in April 2011.

VOLUNTEERS

A small but active group of volunteers have planted over 50,000 plants along streams and in various locations throughout the Whareroa Farm Reserve since 2007. They have also cleared gorse in key areas, constructed new tracks and undertaken a myriad of small and large projects to improve Whareroa. More volunteers are always welcome as the planting continues as do the many and varied projects to enhance Whareroa. Working Bees are held on the 1st Sunday of each month (except January) from 9am to 12pm throughout the year (morning tea provided). You don't have to be a member to be a volunteer.

As WGCT is a registered charitable trust, donations above $5 are tax deductible.
